I don't get how you guys can think about stuff like this without immediately being overtaken by a feeling of immense rage that we're losing hockey games in the only life we have because rich people are arguing over more of our money. I try to stay as far away as possible until I hear the words "Deal reached, season to begin". And if this goes a whole season, we'll see if I come back. I don't know.

Honestly, after the last strike I was the same way. I didn't go to another game for years and wouldn't watch on TV unless I was at a bar or a friend's house and had no other choice. I was just done with it.

Last year though, something changed. It was the first full season that I went to as many games as I could, watched or listened to every game possible, and finally had my heart back in it...and now there's another lockout. It's almost like they want to drive us all away again.
